Mutuall Love.

From our loves, Heat and light are taught to twine,
In their bright nuptiall bed of solar beams.
From our loves Thame and Isis learn to joyn,
Loosing themselves in one anothers streams.
And if Fate smile, the Fire loves emblem bears,
If not, the Water represents our tears.
From our Loves all magnetick virtue grows,
Steel to th'obdurate Loadstone is inclind.
From our Loves all the power of Chymists flows,
Earth by the Sun is into Gold refind.
And if Fate smile, this shall Loves Arrows head,
If not, in those is our hard fortune read.
From our still springing loves the youthfull Bayes,
Is in a robe of lasting verdure drest,
From our firm loves the Cypress learns to raise,
Green in despight of storms, her deathless crest.
And if Fate smile, with that our Temples bound,
If not, with this our Hearses shall be crownd.
